This week I did a school project on endangered species and I found out some really
interesting but worrying facts. Did you know that the list of endangered species is
getting longer every year as more animals face extinction?
This freshwater dolphin is one of the world’s rarest mammals. It is 2.5 m long and
swims only in the Yangtze River. Along this river, there are many fishing villages
and overfishing threatens these unique dolphins. There are only a few left. Will they
survive?
The island of Madagascar is home to the Aye-aye lemur. It lives in the rainforest and
has large eyes that reflect light. The native people believe the aye-aye is a symbol of
death. Deforestation and hunting are threatening its survival and there are only a
few thousand left.
Australia is famous for kangaroos, but this species of small kangaroo is facing
extinction. There are only 500 left because of overhunting. The bridled nail-tailed
wallaby now lives only in Taunton National Park, Queensland.
